DRUGS - INTRODUCTION 1
Drug dependency requires drugs to function normally because body chemicals learn to compensate for their presence. Abuse is using drugs beyond stated purpose. Addiction is intense craving, needing drugs in larger and larger doses as tolerance builds to function normally, revolving one's life around getting drugs or finding substitutes, getting your next fix. Social attitudes towards drugs influence availability. Drug effects influence use or nonuse. Today's drugs are sronger, faster- and longer-acting, and easier and cheaper to make. Methadone is made on the street in minutes with minimum basic portable equipment. Drugs take forever to excrete. Your hair contains a permanent record of what drugs you had and when.
Drugs work faster when injected or sniffed instead of swallowed. Drugs are defined as substances that change how body and brain work. Drugs change how you feel, think, act. Effects vary with user personality before using drugs. Today's drugs are in stronger, deadlier, more expensive, needleless versions easier and cheaper to make. After initial high and overconfidence users feel depressed as drugs wear off and overstimulated central nervous systems need rest. Mainline = IV use. Drugs, especially if impure, cause strokes, seizures, heart attacks, liver and kidney failure and a suppressed immune system. Drugs also cause malnutrition due to loss of appetite. Drugs cause permanent internal and brain damage.
Drugs are a large, easily-produced income source. Most of the world's drugs are shipped to the U S. President Clinton's War on Drugs is the reason behind attempts on his and Vice President Gore's lives and careers and those of their families and supporters. If you let drugs into your system you let these entities control your body. Drugs destroy all protection. Drugs pull discarnate entities into you to attach to you and assume control. They have every right because you abandon control by using drugs. They take you over and direct your life to fulfill their needs and desires. Your screening device is gone. On low astral realms you see nightmares. On high astral realms you "find God" - a god who enslaves and destroys you.
DOJ statistics show 70% of federal prisoners used drugs prior to arrest. 20% used drugs before committing the crime they're in prison for. In 1991 60% of federal prisoners had used drugs, 17% at the time of the crime. Percent of state prisoners using drugs were higher. In 1997 83% had used drugs, up from 79% in 1991. 33% used them at the time of the crime, up from 31% in 1991. Budget includes testing and treating prisoners' drug use. Approved by Congress the money would increase funds currently available to enforce zero drug use tolerance for prisoners, parolees and probationers. Increased use of steroids, ecstasy and other drugs, also alcohol, tobacco and illegal substances. Drug education and prevention lags behind new drugs such as MDMA.
Officially, plainclothes police were at the house searching for drugs. A daunting task with traffic and phone calls from drug buyers. Fresh suspects came even as others were led away in handcuffs and even with marked patrol cars parked out front. Police let them in the front door, arrested them out the back, walking them the 2 blocks to jail. Buyers called asking if drugs were available. Police answering the phone invited them over. When they arrived police arrested them. Police could barely conduct their search because so many people called and visited.
Nerves connect via the synapse, a small space filled with acetylcholine, a conductor for nerve impulses, and an enzyme that inhibits it. Axons and dendrites extend part way across. Natural brain barriers let in only impulses strong enough to bridge the synapse. Weak impulses reverb until they die or pick up enough energy. Impulses shoot to the end of the nerve, then arc across the threshold to the next nerve. People with more space between nerves need stronger impulses. People with less space between nerves are more involved and tuned in, natural psychics, ESP (HSP, higher SP) Drugs in the bloodstream chemically destroy reality vs illusion. Acetylcholine's enzyme inhibitor is wiped out. Nerve connections go straight across like a penny on a broken fuse. Without regulation ALL impulses are carried to the brain. Nothing is blocked. You think you're having a vision but instead you're out of control, perceiving life differently. You think "Who cares? They don't know because they don't use drugs." What you perceive as truth is what you react to.
Drug Addiction Rewires your Brain
Addicts spend years fighting relapses because the deepest corners of their brains learned to associate sights or sounds with the drug of choice. Your brain quickly becomes sensitized in addiction's early stages to respond to cues. Seeing a needle or hearing ice cubes clink trigger a desire to have whatever drug your brain learns to associate with that cue. Drugs sensitize certain neural systems within the brain, causing changes that are relatively permanent. Lab rats trained to associate a 30-second tone with receiving sugar pellets pressed the bar 200% more than control group rats.
